  1. I am having a strange hardware problem with my computer lately where it freezes while doing any major processing. By freeze, I mean that it totally dead locks up. No mouse, no keyboard, unable to CTRL+ALT+Delete just dead in the water until I restart. The freezing comes after about 10 minutes of standard usage. It won't freeze if the computer is left alone not doing anything. When it is being used to do stuff it will freeze after about 10 minutes. I know that this is a hardware issue because this freeze problem happens regardless of whether Windows is running or not. I tried running Memtest86 on it just for the lulz, but it still froze after about 10 minutes. The problem isn't Windows or any setting in the operating system. What should I be looking for in troubleshooting this problem?
  2. Hi, I have a laptop with Windows 8.1 I play a number of games which require internet connection, when playing a game and my charger is not plugged in after a while I will loose connection to the internet. I then try to disconnect and reconnect to the internet however when I try to reconnect the laptop freezes to a point where I am forced to reboot the PC. Does anyone have a similar problem/solution to this, I don't mind having my charger in all the time but I don't really want to discharge my battery so quickly. This problem never occurs when my Charger is plugged in. thanks, Abid Patel.
  3. I have a computer running Windows 8 that doesn't consistently boot all the time. I built this computer, and when I first installed Windows 8 it worked fine. I then went out and bought a Samsung 480 Pro 120 GB SSD. I updated the firmware and everything, then did a clean install of windows onto it. It worked great for awhile, but it has began to act up. 1 out of every 2 times I start my computer I see the BIOS screen, the Win8 loading screen, then my lock screen wallpaper comes up. The networking icon shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, and the computer does not respond to the mouse or keyboard. I then do a hard reset and it sometimes boots from there. I checked error reporting and it says that Windows was unable to shut down correctly. I also see messages about a device driver made by Saitek (I have a joystick made by them, had it plugged in once, is no longer plugged in) that is not being installed correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  4. Hi, of late, my windows 7 enterprise has been freezing up for no particular reason. i have been using this computer for some time now with no problem, until about a week or so ago when i first detected that some programs were not running properly. how it typically goes is this: first, a particular program would go into 'not responding' mode. i have noticed this first culprit program is almost always ms office or adobe reader. i would then try to close this program through task manager, which somehow is not able to close it. i have tried using other applications to force close stubborn programs like ProcessKO and so on, but none works. this freezing would then extend to other applications, until finally even my chrome browser hangs. that's when i lose all response from the system, and have to press the power button for 7s to force shutdown. i have tried a few trouble-shooting techniques: i used windows updates to download and install all the updates available (even those non-critical ones). this seemed to help somewhat, till the system crashed again just now. i ran AVG anti-virus to see if i had a virus, then i ran windows defender too. these turned up nothing suspicious. i am not sure what else i can do to pinpoint the reason for all these frustrating hang-ups. any ideas from anyone? thanks.
  5. howdy forums, so, i have been having odd computer freezes for the past couple of months now, and i have really no idea whats going on. I've talked to my geek friends and I've gotten explanations all across the board. "it's your NIC", "It's your powersupply" "it's your RAM" When it freezes, EVERYTHING stops. (duhh) anyway, the only way to get it out of the freezes is to press restart button on my case or flick the switch on the back of the power supply. I'm sure that that's really bad for the computer. One time it froze, It actually tried to fix itself and went to a blue, memory dump screen. But then IT FROZE AGAIN!!! (WTF!!!) so i had to restart it, and my 1TB hard drive got corrupted and completely stopped functioning. my computer didnt even recognize it. so i scavenged around and found our old, Windows 98 PC with a 40GB HDD (LOL :lol: ). Im not going to bore you with how much 40 GB of room sucks, But it REALLY sucks. In the past, i have had no idea what was going on, but then a geek friend told me to look at the event viewer. the picture is of my administrative events. the red lines are when i restart the computer. they are the only critical events that i get. the blue area is full of events that i have no idea about. this was about the only way that i knew bad things were happening for a long time, but then, the computer gave me another clue. Now, i play minecraft and host a minecraft server for my friends (5 people tops) and i dedicate 1GB of ram to this server. it seems to crash more frequently when i play minecraft/use large amounts of RAM. The 3 .txt files are the only error report i have of any freezes, and they have only occurred when i play minecraft on my server. Now i suspect the freezing has something to do with my RAM/Motherboard. but thats just a hunch. To sum it up... WHATS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER!!! thanks :D hs_err_pid2688.txt hs_err_pid3508.txt hs_err_pid4960.txt
